1.3 to DJ Malan, full and straight on middle, and the ball's swinging into Malan's pads. He tries to whip, but misses, and he's been caught in front of the stumps! Loud appeal from Birch, and Dawid has to go.. 13/1
18.4 to Mohammad Nawaz, and the change of angle does the trick. Has to clear his front leg to hit this low, straight full-toss down the ground, and he doesn't quite manage the power he desires, ends up hitting it straight to long-on. 164/4
403809.5073200
403418.5063100
5.6 to JN Malan, middle stump gone! Length ball on off, and he walks down the ground to punch. Played down the wrong line, and his middle stump goes cartwheeling. Frylinck's 100th T20 wicket in his 100th T20 match. 50/2
402917.25114000
8.6 to JF Smith, the googly gets the wicket! Flighted on middle, and turning into the batsman as he uses his feet. Looks to slog towards the leg side, but the ball beats him in the flight and then clips the top of leg stump. 64/3

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB

2.1 to T de Zorzi, top-edged to square leg! That's the wicket they were looking for. Full on off stump, and he goes across the line to sweep over the leg side. But it finds the bat's toe end and Linde makes no mistake. 5/1
402115.25153001
18.5 to BMAJ Mendis, full just outside off stump, and he clears his front leg to go over long on. But Mendis has toe-ended this shot, and deep midwicket runs across the boundary to comfortably take the catch. 128/9
301314.33112000
5.2 to GL Cloete, full outside leg, and lifted towards the leg side! But mid on runs to his left, and slides across the ground to take a smart catch! What a laboured innings this was. Slightly painful to watch as well. Cloete's agony ends. 27/2
403017.5032000
15.4 to R Frylinck, yorker! Too full on middle, and Frylinck looks to clear his legs for the big shot. The ball skids in, and the stumps light up! They're falling in a heap now. 120/6
3.312838.00121310
14.3 to AB de Villiers, is that six... no, that's out! Back of a length on middle, and AB rocks back to pull. It's a long boundary there, and the ball seems to be going over the boundary... but Nortje stays on the boundary line, takes a catch, pops it in the air, comes forward again to complete the catch. 116/4
14.4 to RR Rossouw, middle stump gone! Back-to-back wickets for the young lad. Full and straight from the iceman. Rossouw tries to drill a straight drive, but the ball zips right into his stumps. Spartans in big, big trouble now. 116/5
19.3 to L Sipamla, all out! And what a smart way to finish the game. Full on middle, and the straight drive has been taken by the bowler! Blitz win by 49 runs!. 131/10
2021110.5020210
10.2 to D Elgar, dropped, but no, he takes it on the followthrough! Full on off, and Elgar tries to flat-bat this over the bowler's head. Linde jumps up, gets his fingertips on the ball, and as it comes back on Earth.... Linde dives forward and takes a one-handed stunner!. 70/3
